I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Anduril (Costa Mesa, CA)
Interview
I completed the interview with optimal solutions and still no offer. Each interviewer gave good feedback so I was confused why I didn’t get an offer.
2 coding screens over the phone.
Final round:
2 coding interviews, 1 hour behaviors interview, 1 system design interview.
Medium leetcode problems, mostly graphs detecting cycles. UnionFind and dfs. Also included a binary search.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Given a list of words and a searchWord, for each prefix of searchWord find the first three lexicographically matching words with the prefix.
behavioral and technicals in a power day. Leetcode problems and had to dive deeper with follow ups and why anduril is a repeated question so be prepared. good luck you got this
One technical leetcode style question for the first round. Following that was three rounds of technical questions, one focused on APIs, one was more conversational and focused on past experience, one was a leetcode style question with follow-ups.
Fast quick process! The team was very smart but unfortunately didn’t get an offer. The company is still growing so will definitely reapply in the future! Hiring manager was nice as well.
